To-day, before Judges Bond and Hughes
in Alexandria, the suit against the In
dcmnity Board of Virginia will be heard
Auditors Marye and Rufin, Treasurer
Hartman, Secretary of the Commonwealth
Flournoy, and Attorney-Gcneral Ayers
have been summoned TO answer for not
complying with the decisions OF the
United States Circuit and district courts.
Tomorrow the special grand jury or
dered by Judge Atkins to enquire into
whether the offence OF a barratry, &c,
have been committed will meet at the
Hastings Court.
This is an attempt to prosecute those
who have paid their taxes In coupons or
have encouraged others to pay in cou-
pons or to tender coupons in payment of
taxes.
In all these judicial proceedings there
will doubtless appear what VIC have point
cd out, viz: That the little game Of whip
ping the devil around the stump will not
work when the highest tribunal has
shown that it has hold Of a principle and
intends to maintain it.
The principle is that obstructive acts
to prevent the citizen from using coupons
in a certain way declared lawful wiz mot
be countenanced.
The State authorih. ulyordel the col
lectors not to take coupons; but the
~treasurers have the right to take them,
and therefore can return them to the
Auditor as taxes.
This is common sense and justice, ex-
cept to the advocates Of a State soyer-
eighty to override the Federal authority.
As we have said in different terms so
often, this may not be agreeable to a
great many people, but it is inevitable,
and every time the State authorities deny
it by their acts. they engage in a contest
in which is inevitable defeat, and meal
culable harm to the people.

One Of the colofcd brethren at an eman-
cipation-day celebration said: "The
whites found gold, diamonds, and other
riches in Africa. Why should NO. the
negrop Africa is their country. They
should claim it; they should go to Africa,
c~ivilize those negroes, raise them moral
ly, and by education show them how to OBJ
tain the wealth which is in their country,
and take that grand continent as their
own"
% The question is, could any number Of the
American Africans be persuaded to go to
Africa? And, if they got there, could they
compete with the Europeans who are
Docking to the dark continent by thou
sands?

The Herald believes that of the two
parties now organized the Democratic is
by far the most fit to be trusted with con-
troll in Federal matters. We do not think
the Democratic party faultless but we
see that the Republican party remains
under the control Of the most mischiev-
Gus and dangerous class in the country
the plutocracy, the combine" of corpo-
rations and monopolists of all kinds
N. J. HeraM
We think the peculiar argument in the
South in favor Of Mr.. Cleveland is that
he may appear in 1888 to be the safest
candidate to enable the Democrats to hold
the fort, and if he is honest we can af-
ford to look over a good many faults in a
President who can keep of the Radical
wave for four years more, by which time
the power which held on by the cohesive
ness OF plumber will be broken, and a
sounder standard of politics established
for all parties.

Mr.. Herbert Butcher, as special agent
of the Treasury Department in Oregon,
Is an illustration Of a Mugwump's share
of the spOils. His father came to the aid
of Mr.. Cleveland at q trying moment, and
it was natural that the son should think
of getting an office.
1t was also natural that Mr.. Cleveland
should want to give it to him. But it is
certain that no office should be regarded
as a personal ~perquisite with which to
acquit obligations; and when the Presi-
dent so systematically refuses to give Of
fees for political services, even when
such services are patriotic, he ought also
10 refuse himself a purely personal per
quisite in the shape of a fat office.

WHY THEY READ THE "TIMES."

We are not disposed to publish com
plimentary communications however
highly we value them, but the plain fact
is that the people of Richmond have
found in the DAILY TINES a paper that
contains all the news, with a crisp and
comprehensive editorial review of all the
important happenings of each day.
This is modern journalism, and W. are
highly gratifed to learn from all quarters
that our penny paper has bit the mark
every time. Our first duty to the public
is to fearlessly tell the truth regardless
of party, prejudice, or persons. If the
truth happens not 10 be popular on any
public question, it is the part Of a
newspaper to show the facts intelligently
and argue for what it believes to be
right.
Not a day has passed since the first
number of THE TIMES was published that
the circulation has not increased; and we
maintain our first position that a good
penny paper in Richmond will have TO-
900 city circulation as soon as it is well
acquainted.

Mrs. Langtry has gotten in her little
advertisement in the following bonnet
anecdote which she tells in her MAY T.
style, which is so fascinating; MY man
ager came to me one day at the Princes in
a very excited state of mind, and with an
expression of horror called my attention
to some women in a box with their bon
nets on. They were Americans, he said,
and he had been TO them and protested,
and requested them to emove their head
gear. They refused-what should he do
with them? | peeped out from behind the
curtain and taking in the scene, said:
oh, let them stay. It's a very pretty sight.
They are a %fne-looking party, hand
somely dressed and no doubt look better
in their bonnets than they would with
OUT So it is with agood many women"

1t is many years since a President was

in the National bank case, will be heard
early this week.

Lord Randolph Churchill said months

distractions in the way Of tie Cam

the attempt to put down the anti-rent
agitation has excited only contempt.

Dr.. Kempster, n of the insanity ex-
perts in the Guiteau case, saws now that
it was the idea of the Government to get
the assassin cleared on the plea of insan-
ity, because it looked so very bad abroad
that a President should be murdered by
a san man. 1t is quite certain that Gui-
teau at times played insane; but Mr.. Da-
vidge, the lawyer who moulded the
whole theory of the prosecution,
was far above being approached with any
hint in the direction of what the Govern
ment or anybody else might want, and
he went directly at the gist of the whole
matter, which was that Guiteau proved
by his own acts and words that he had
fixed the time for the deed, and changed
it several times-waiting for more favora-
BILE circumstances. This did away with the
theory that he was beyond rational con-
troll; and being capable of such control
over himself Of course he was sane at the
time and fully responsible. The doctor
says, also, that there may have been
others concerned in the act, as the
prisoner once uttered a threat that scme-
body would suffer if he was not supplied
with money, and Immediately from some
invisible source the funds were forth
coming.
